Chapter 004: Virtuous Reputation
The second master, Jiang Yude, did not dare to disobey the old lady's arrangement, but he couldn't bear to wronged Feng, who was pregnant with Liujia. In desperation, he begged the old lady that if the Feng family was pregnant with the young master of the Jiang family, then he would raise the Feng family as his wife, at least he could add a grandson to the Jiang family as soon as possible.
The old lady knew that Jiang Yude's whole mind was on the Feng family, and if she didn't agree to this request, Jiang Yude probably wouldn't accept the Cao family's girl coming in. Thinking about it again, if the Feng family is really a young master in her belly, it will be considered her Feng family's anger.
At that time, the Jiang family's big house had already given birth to two young ladies, and there was never a young master. After all, the old lady is old, and she has been thinking about hugging her grandson for a long time, and when she mentions her grandson, her heart softened, and she had a stalemate with Jiang Yude, and finally agreed.
The Cao family married into the Jiang Mansion under such circumstances, and only she knew the sourness in it.
Feng is pregnant, and Jiang Yude cares about Feng even more. The Cao family lived in fear with the false name of his wife, Jiang Yude only came to see her once in three or two months, most of them went to accompany the Feng family, if the Feng family gave birth to a son, would her Cao family still have a foothold in the Jiang family?
Cao knew that he was in a difficult situation, even if he hated the humble Feng in his heart, he didn't dare to show half of it. Jiang Yude likes Feng's family, isn't it because of Feng's gentleness and virtuousness? The Cao family did not show weakness, on the one hand, he tried his best to please Mrs. Jiang, and on the other hand, he was also concerned about the Feng family.
Such forbearance and hard work finally won Jiang Yude's blue eyes, and her stomach was even more competitive, and one of the few times she actually reacted.
Mrs. Jiang identified with Cao's second daughter-in-law, and she also had a lot of complaints about Feng. But after all, she promised Jiang Yude that if the Feng family gave birth to a son, she would raise the Feng family as a flat wife.
Cao was also worried about this, but fortunately, God was towards her after all.
Feng gave birth to not a baby boy, but the third lady, Jiang Suxue. After learning this, the big stone in Cao's heart was put down. What's more, now she also has the heir of the Jiang family in her belly, and she is a serious heir!
Unexpectedly, God's favor for her was more than that, after Feng gave birth to Jiang Suxue, she lost too much blood and died.
Jiang Yude stayed by Feng's bedside, grief-stricken, and ignored the opposition of Mrs. Jiang and the clansmen, and carried the deceased Feng as his wife, set up a tablet, and entered the Jiang family ancestral hall.
Mrs. Jiang didn't even attend the ceremony of Fuzheng, and she was sick because of it. But the Cao family seemed to be very affectionate and righteous, comforting the sick old lady on the one hand, and understanding her husband's decision on the other hand, and dragging her pregnant body to kneel in front of Feng's spirit and crying painfully.
The Jiang Mansion said that the second Mrs. Jiang was a rare virtuous lady. Even Jiang Yude thinks so.
The second wife, Cao, enjoyed such praise, and she knew that no matter how good Feng was, she had already gone after all. She, Cao, is the one who wants to raise eyebrows with Jiang Yude, and she is the serious second wife of this Jiang Mansion!
And her good life didn't stop there, half a year later, the second wife Cao gave birth to her eldest son, Jiang Yonghong, and her position in Jiangfu has been more stable since then. Later, they had two daughters, namely Jiang Jingxuan, the fourth lady of Jiangfu, and Jiang Wanyue, the sixth lady.
But above them, there is always a third lady Jiang Suxue, so in the heart of the second wife, Jiang Suxue is still a thorn.
Jiang Yude misses the late Feng, so he also loves Jiang Suxue very much, which created Jiang Suxue's arrogant temperament, but everyone in the Jiang Mansion knows that these three young ladies Jiang Suxue are the most annoying.
The second wife, Cao, has always regarded herself as virtuous, and she is also quite concerned about Jiang Suxue, and the servants in the house dare to say bad things about Jiang Suxue behind their backs, and the second wife also got angry and punished her.
Jiang Suxue lost her mother since she was a child, and she also regarded her second wife as her own mother, and she was used to it since she was a child, so she didn't have much thought, thinking that the second wife was really good to her.
The second wife did this, on the one hand, she wanted to gain a reputation as virtuous, and on the other hand, she also wanted Jiang Suxue to continue to be used to being pampered. The second wife understands that only by constantly giving her honey can she become more and more lawless and arrogant, and can she become more and more annoying in the Jiang family, and even Jiang Yude's love and patience for her are gradually polished.
This qiē really went according to the second wife's expectations. Jiang Suxue became more and more arrogant and rude, and as soon as the people in the clan heard the third lady Jiang Suxue, they frowned and shook their heads. But Jiang Suxue didn't realize it, and even dared to propose to the second master Jiang that she wanted to marry the second son of the Shen family.
Where is this still like the words of a serious boudoir woman? Even Jiang Yude was taken aback.
Jiang Yude originally disagreed, after all, the Shen family is now in decline, and he is reluctant to marry the only daughter of the Feng family to a concubine of a declining family. But how could Jiang Suxue, who has always wanted to be windy, listen to her father's persuasion? Die biting non-Shen Yifeng and not marrying.
Jiang Yude was greatly annoyed, reprimanded Jiang Suxue for the first time, and punished her for three days of confinement.
But the second wife, Cao, persuaded softly on the side, saying that the woman should marry, Su Xue has been miserable since she was a child, and if she can have a man she likes, it will fulfill her, the Shen family is indeed not prominent, but it is not necessarily a bad thing, at least after Su Xue marries, the Shen family will look at the face of the Jiang family and dare not give her the slightest grievance.
As soon as he heard the second wife say that Su Xue had a hard life since she was a child, Jiang Yude thought of the dead Feng and sighed, and then he responded.
The family affairs have already been said, and the Shen family will come to see each other next month, although Jiang Suxue has a bad temperament, her little appearance is still not bad. With the status of the Shen family, there is no reason to refuse Jiang Suxue. Looking at each other, it's just a cutscene.
The second wife was worried before, according to the ranking, Jingxuan and Wanyue she gave birth to were after Jiang Suxue. Because of Feng's cheap maid, the second master has been hurting Jiang Suxue all these years, and if he has a good family affair, he will consider Jiang Suxue first, and when it is Jingxuan and Wanyue's turn to marry, I am afraid it will not be as good as Jiang Suxue.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Suxue opened her mouth and promised herself to the Shen family.
The second wife secretly applauded, a declining family like the Shen family, with the child born by the Feng family's cheap maid, this is really a perfect match!
The second wife also looked forward to the marriage between Jiang Suxue and the Shen family going smoothly. In the future, she will be able to find a better husband for Jingxuan and Wanyue, then they will be able to crush Jiang Suxue to death in their lives.
But when I went up the mountain to burn incense, why did I fall? If you fall stupid, you won't have to worry about it later. A stupid girl, I'm afraid even the Shen family can't look down on her. But when I saw the second master come out just now, his face was a little strange, as if he was angry, but he was not just angry.
Could it be that Jiang Suxue went up the mountain this time, and something else happened?
At that time, the old lady also went to see Jiang Suxue, the room was full of people, the second wife only looked at it from a distance, Jiang Suxue's expression was really weird, as if she saw anyone who was strange, she didn't answer anything, just looked back and forth with round eyes.
Is it really stupid?
As soon as the second wife returned to her room, Mother Qin approached gently.
The second wife raised her eyes and glanced at Qin's mother, and Qin's mother immediately understood, leaned into the second wife's ear and whispered: "Stupid, nine times out of ten, you are stupid." ”
Although Fang had already expected this, the second wife was still slightly stunned when she heard Mother Qin say this.
"Silly......" the second lady repeated in a low voice.
Note: Regarding the matter of Fuzheng Feng as a flat wife, here is an explanation. Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, concubines could not be wives, otherwise the man could be sentenced to one and a half years in prison (of course, if the man was powerful and powerful, such as the prince or even the emperor, the situation was a little different). Since the Song and Yuan dynasties, there have been men who have made their concubines their wives after the death or abandonment of their wives, but they need to hold a ceremony to straighten up. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the situation of rectifying concubines was more common, and there were even cases of buying and selling wives. This article is an alternate history, for this point will not be delved in, the second master loves Feng deeply and feels guilty and sad in his heart, so he will ignore the opposition of the clan to set up a tablet for Feng to enter the ancestral hall. In fact, the second master is not in accordance with the rules when he does this, so the old lady will be angry and sick. In short, this article is empty, and I hope you don't delve too deeply into some inaccuracies.
